Susan E. Morse (born 1952) is an American film editor with more than 30 film credits. She had a notable collaboration with director Woody Allen from 1977 to 1998. Their collaboration led to a nomination for the Academy Award for Film Editing for the 1986 film Hannah and Her Sisters, and to five nominations for the BAFTA Award for Best Editing (for Manhattan (1979), Zelig (1983), Hannah and Her Sisters (1986), Radio Days (1987), and Crimes and Misdemeanors (1989)). She was recently nominated, as well, for an Emmy Award for her editing of the Daddy's Girlfriend (Part Two) episode of the popular FX network show, Louie.

Morse has been elected to membership in the American Cinema Editors and was honored at the 25th Annual Muse Awards Gala for New York Women in Film and Television, along with Tina Fey, Julianne Moore and Debra L. Lee, Chairman and CEO of BET Network in 2005.

Morse was one of the first female varsity captains in Yale history and the only junior in that group, in 1972/73, when she co-captained the field hockey team with Lawrie Mifflin, former Senior Editor at the New York Times. Morse remained the team's solo captain in their 1973/74 season.

Biography

Susan E. Morse a commencé sa collaboration avec Woody Allen en tant qu'assistante monteuse de Ralph Rosenblum sur les films Annie Hall puis Intérieurs. Alors que Rosenblum a monté cinq films d'Allen, Susan E. Morse monte son film suivant : Manhattan (1979). Également monteuse associée sur Raging Bull (1980) de Martin Scorsese, elle monte ensuite l'intégralité des réalisations de Woody Allen jusqu'à Celebrity (1998), travaillant quasi exclusivement pour lui durant cette longue période. Elle obtient une nomination à l'Oscar du meilleur montage pour Hannah et ses sœurs en 1987 et cumule aussi cinq nominations pour le BAFTA du meilleur montage, mais elle n'est jamais récompensée.

Si les raisons de la fin de leur collaboration sont officiellement inconnues, le journaliste Bernard Weinraub note que plusieurs autres personnes ont arrêté de travailler avec Woody Allen à la même période et estime qu'il y a un lien avec les mesures de réduction budgétaire initiée par la productrice Jean Doumanian durant les années 1990.

Depuis, Susan E. Morse a notamment monté plusieurs films de Marc Lawrence et a également travaillé sur les séries Billions et Louie, cette dernière lui valant une nomination aux Primetime Emmy Awards en 2013.

Alex Fletcher (Hugh Grant) is a washed-up former pop star who is attempting to revive his dwindling career by hitching his name to the rising star of Cora Corman (Haley Bennett), a young megastar who has asked him to write a song titled "Way Back Into Love." During an unsuccessful attempt to come up with words for the song, he discovers that the woman who is temporarily watering his plants, Sophie Fisher (Drew Barrymore), has a gift for writing lyrics. Sophie, a former creative writing student reeling from a disastrous romance with her former English professor Sloan Cates (Campbell Scott), initially refuses. Alex cajoles her into helping him by using a few quickly-chosen phrases she has given him as the basis for a song. Over the next few days, they grow closer while writing the words and music together, much to the delight of Sophie's older sister Rhonda (Kristen Johnston), a huge fan of Alex.

One night, Lucy (Judy Davis) gets a taxi to the home of author Harry Block (Woody Allen). She has just read Harry's latest novel. In the novel, the character Leslie (Julia Louis-Dreyfus) is having an affair with her sister's husband Ken (Richard Benjamin). Lucy is angry because the novel is patently based on her and Harry's own affair; as a result, everyone knows about it. Lucy pulls a gun out of her purse, saying she will kill herself. She then turns the gun on Harry and begins firing. She chases him out onto the roof. Harry insists that he has already been punished: his latest girlfriend Fay (Elisabeth Shue) has left him for his best friend Larry (Billy Crystal). To distract Lucy, Harry tells her a story he is currently writing: a semi-autobiographical story of a sex-obsessed young man named Harvey (Tobey Maguire) who is mistakenly claimed by Death.
